The Kids Who Are Different

Are you different?
As many of you know Byron Edgington & I were part of this fun group of young people. (yeah, we know, they let us 'older folks' in) TEDxMiltonHS 2023 was a blast. Our TEDx Talk, NeuroDivergence: A Relationship Superpower, was well received and brought about many questions from people in attendance.

We're glad to shine a light on the topic of neurodivergence.

Though, admittedly, learning more about my ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia is daunting for us. However, for me, it's particularly scary to open up and talk about it. It certainly makes me feel vulnerable.
But, if my story can help one kiddo, especially if it lets them know life can be better with the tools I've created, then telling my story is required.

My journey, especially as kid, was pretty tough. Bullying is a real thing and there's many kids who still endure bullying on daily basis. Truly sad.

Do you know a kid who's #neurodivergent , or just labeled 'different'?
Please be kind to them and let them know, it's ok to be who they are.

Journey Well my friends,
You Are MORE Than Enough
